Amazing mountain cabin in Arizona

My entire family agrees that this was the best cabin we've stayed at! The location is perfect: quiet, friendly Arizona mountain town with great food, incredible views and weather, and close to many great areas such as Sedona, Prescott, Flagstaff and many parks. If you are traveling to be outdoors, this is the perfect place.The cabin itself was very comfy. The owner had everything labelled well and with easy to understand directions. The views are fantastic right off the back deck. We could not have asked for more.We highly recommend this cabin for anyone!

Views Like None Other

My husband and I spent a very relaxing week at this lovely hideaway. The views from every window are picturesque but become absolutely stunning once you're out on the decks! Just simply delighful! The kitchen is not only well equipped but beautiful, with thick granite countertops and cream colored, handsome cabinets. Loved the big fridge/freezer and large dining table that seats 6. Another plus was the mattress in the upstairs bedroom: total comfort! Actually. this is a perfect house for a family, with plenty of room downstairs. We highly recommend booking this cabin whether you want a peaceful setting with spectacular views or a place to entertain guests on the awesome decks! You would be hard pressed to find something similar for the price and ambience!
